Defibrillators Save Lives
What our donation will help fund
This will be used for the purchase of small branded trolley tokens and other marketing products to ensure that everyone knows who we are, and what we are doing in the local community!
✅ Defibrillator Coverage & Access
Number of defibrillators installed in the community. Number of existing defibrillators brought “back online” (pads, batteries, cabinets maintained, re-registered on The Circuit). Percentage increase in 24/7 accessible defibrillators (outside installations).
✅ Training & Familiarisation
Number of people trained in CPR and defibrillator use. Number of familiarisation sessions delivered in schools, workplaces, sports clubs, and community groups. Age range and diversity of participants (showing inclusivity and reach).
✅ Guardianship & Community Engagement
Number of Heart Heroes and community volunteers actively checking and maintaining defibrillators. Number of schools, clubs, or businesses engaged in becoming defibrillator guardians. Growth of partnerships (e.g. with Oldham Council, local businesses, NWAS).
✅ Lives at Risk / Lives Saved
Number of times a DSL-supported defibrillator has been deployed in a cardiac arrest. Case studies or stories where access to a defibrillator (that DSL installed/maintains) has given someone a chance of survival. Proximity stats (e.g. “X% of Oldham residents now live within 500m of a registered defibrillator”).
✅ Public Awareness & Confidence
Increase in awareness measured by engagement at events, school sessions, or online campaigns. Feedback from training participants about confidence to step in during an emergency. Testimonials from guardians, schools, or families.
